Embarking on your journey to data intelligence?
There are seven essential steps you can take with your data catalog to make data intelligence a reality in your organization.
Step one: support the entire organization
To unite your organization around data, you’ll want to make it easy for everyone to discover, understand and trust data.
When you have multiple technical or source-specific data catalogs, unfortunately, you’re perpetuating the existing silos that likely spurred your interest in an enterprise data catalog.
Opt for an enterprise data catalog that serves as a comprehensive platform and can evolve with your organization’s business needs.
If you’re a data team aiming to build a data catalog to speed your AI applications’ time-to-market, start with your key projects. An initial focus can lay the groundwork for future success. Discover more about Collibra AI Governance.
Step two: connect to all your data
To achieve data intelligence, connect your data catalog to your entire data landscape and all your data sources — from databases, data warehouses, and data lakes, to cloud platforms, ETL tools, BI tools, ERP, and CRM systems.
A robust integration with cloud platforms can facilitate your digital transformation and cloud migration processes.
Step three: enable automation at scale
With the exponential increase in the volume and variety of data a manual approach to data intelligence is no longer viable. Invest in automation for data discovery, classification, stewardship, and policy enforcement.
By leveraging automation with an enterprise-grade data catalog like Collibra, you can minimize manual tasks and accelerate time-to-value from your data catalog.
